Our 2025 goal is at least 2 income producing properties, with usable equity. 

As I see it in the current market, STR is now a way to get a really good, appreciating asset to pay for itself, not a way to produce a meaningful amount of cash flow after all expenses. 

They have been rock solid for 7 years.

Other distractions include non income-producing activities - aka any distraction pulling you to do something other than speaking with and following up with people.How can I prepare myself?

(3) My God how big is that rock your living under?

New irrigation, sod, plants, trees, rocks/shell, paver patio, driveway, exterior lighting, and fence.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Areas like Memphis, Little Rock, Dallas/FTW, Houston, OKC, Tulsa, St.

I would also recommend looking at cities close to Greenville, like Anderson, Easley, & Simpsonville as well since Greenville can be competitive unless you are looking at off-market deals.Also the non-occupancy tax would be based on the tax assessed value of the property and not the income it produces.

If I'm looking to househack with my family (I had a toddler and a newborn the last time we did it) I might be interested in 1/3 of these neighborhoods, of which a few will absolutely produce some income (assuming you're number's aren't ultra-conservative) upon moving in year 2-3.

You don't like black rock, either, remember?
